I think sturdier fabrics are what i'm going to have to keep to for pants/trousers. I also think that a hook closure or perhaps button closure would make silk pants more flattering. Finally, I think a wider leg would also help.<br /> Glad I wasn't completely off in returning them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-much-needed-review-jcrews-silk-pants-for-pearshapes#post-852529 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 18:18:52 +0000 Lisa 852529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great question, I am also curious about materials for trousers. I have found for myself, I need thicker fabrics so they don't hug every lump and bump on my thighs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-much-needed-review-jcrews-silk-pants-for-pearshapes#post-852391 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 16:00:08 +0000 Suz 852391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you'd get more structure with an actual waistband. I like silk pants but they do have to be substantial and I agree, they're not the easiest to wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-much-needed-review-jcrews-silk-pants-for-pearshapes#post-852380 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 15:51:43 +0000 modgrl 852380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if they were a sturdier fabric, they would work better for you. That flimsy silk is NOT good for bottoms! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-much-needed-review-jcrews-silk-pants-for-pearshapes#post-852300 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 13:57:12 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 852300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG those pants remind me of the nylon jogging suits of the 80s. This is not a good thing.</p> <p>I agree that the elasticized waistband is a really tough style to wear. I find the drawstring version a bit easier since you can adjust where they sit but they can still be a challenge. Perhaps a similar style with a flat waistband would be a better look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-much-needed-review-jcrews-silk-pants-for-pearshapes#post-852288 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 13:28:40 +0000 Claudia 852288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lauren, I think that you just need to try a different style and fabrication on these type of pants. I am thinking that a sturdier fabric than pure silk will make the biggest difference. Pure, unlined silk can show every bit of what is going on underneath! To your point there are a lot of curvy, soft lines happening with you here. I'd try a pointed closed toe shoe (sandals will be great in season), and keep the top of the outfit a bit more crisp and somewhat structured. The really soft, clingy knit top you are wearing isn't working well with the pants. Also maybe try a top with some drape or blouse with a curved hem that comes lower over the crotch area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-much-needed-review-jcrews-silk-pants-for-pearshapes#post-852287 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 13:27:25 +0000 Anonymous 852287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love silk pants but I prefer a heavy guage silk. Those J crew pants look really thin. I am also not a huge fan of the elastic waist or draw strings (thou I do have some). I think the elastic waist is harder to style. I have a poisen eye for the elastic band exposed so I either wear a top over the waist band or add a belt that sits on top. I also think a regular waist band gives more structure. I don't have any suggestions on brands though. Hopefully someone else will. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-much-needed-review-jcrews-silk-pants-for-pearshapes#post-852283 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 13:07:08 +0000 Lauren 852283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Silk pants are, for some reason, all the rage right now. They were on the runways and every brand has their own version. I wanted to try out this trend for myself to see if it was something I could get behind, or something that just wouldn't work for my particular body type. I went with J.Crew because the price point as compared to other silk pants was much lower, and they come in a wider range of sizes (full review here: <a href="http://bit.ly/132a7D4" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/132a7D4</a>)</p> <p>Have any of you tried the silk pant trend? Is there another brand I should try? I was thinking patterned pants might work better... Would love everyone's thoughts! </p>
